Well it’s four a.m. and you’re just gettin’ in
Your first night out and I won’t ask you where you’ve been
You’re so ashamed and your eyes just can’t meet mine
You’ve seen that look on me a thousand times
What makes us do the things we do heaven only knows
We think we have a secret but it always shows
And I taught you how to cheat you’re doing fine
You’ve seen that look on me a thousand times
But I still love you and so I pretend and hope I’ll never see that look again
But if we do I know the fault is mine I’ve seen that look on me a thousand times
I’ve seen that look on me a thousand times
